This dish takes just a short time to prepare and the flavors are super! The combination of the peppers ande veal give it, of course, a Veal and Peppers flavor like you are at an Italian Street Fair and having a veal and peppers sandwich. Oh how I remember those sandwiches! Oil squeezing out of the sandwich and running down your arms as you bite into that crusty Italian roll . . . excyse me, I have to go make me a sandwich . . . veal and peppers of course!
